What's it worth?? 1989 Nacra 5.8NA - 09/12/08 09:27 PM
Gents....
I was a member long ago but life tossed me a few curves and disappeared for a while.
I have a 1989 NACRA 5.8NA with a trailer and I'm afraid that I have to sell it. I do not know where to begin to assess it's worth. I'll toss in a few details and you can opine on it's value (please)
It's been in storage and needs some elbow grease.
"It needs"
A good cleaning and wax
All new shock cords and rudder lines
New tramp lacing and shock cords
To be rigged (new tramp is in a box)
The blocks need to be cleaned (salty but not worthless)
New shock cords for trap wires.
The daggerboard ends are a bit chewed up.
"It has"
A very lightly used, nearly new Mylar Main in great shape.
A brand new tramp in a box
A nice trailer.
A jib and a foil in very good condition
No damage other than a few gel coat cracks here and there.
Mics equipment, 2 harnesses etc
I think 200 bucks and a weekend would have someone a nice boat. I have no idea what the state of the art has morphed into nor what it costs to pick up a decent used boat. This was my 4th (two Sol Cats and one Prindle)catamaran and my favorite. I also used to build and teach on Hobies so I have some ideas of the boats condition.
The boat is in Virginia Beach. If it's not worth anything I may just keep it. It's a hoot to sail
